pinterest quotes

I was craving pretty fall clothes when I decided to order the cardigan above. The jury is still out on how I feel about it. I will say it is very very soft and comfy which is nice but the front is really long. Like a little too long for me. I haven't decided if I am going to keep it. Maybe I just need to find the perfect shirt to wear underneath. We shall see...
 
The long sleeve blouse is something I am very excited for. I haven't tried it on yet but I have the same shirt in white and I absolutely love it. The shirt is so soft and silky. And it looks totally adorable with a cardigan on top and the sleeves rolled up. I was really excited to get a print. They have the same print with a brown background and then they have solids (like the white one I have) in kelly green, purple, and black. I really want the kelly green blouse. But really, two of the same shirt is enough!

 
I have the navy tank in yellow from an order last month and loved it so much I bought it navy (This is a reoccurring trend if you haven't noticed). I love the simple eyelet ruffle along the top.
 
You might recognize the light blue printed top from a previous haul. I bought this blouse in yellow but they didn't have the picture on website when I did the post so I had used this blue top. Well, I went back and ordered the blue top! I absolutely love it. So soft and flowy and I love the ruffles. I got a lot of compliments when I wore this.
 
I'm really into loose almost sheer button ups lately so I decided to try this sleeveless option. I haven't tried it on yet but I just know it is going to look great with a cardigan, jeans, and a statement necklace.
 
Oh you purple braided tank. I love you so. In my last haul I showed this top in gray. Well hot diggity I ordered it in purple too. It fits perfect, so soft, so cute.

These are hands down my absolute favorite layering tanks. I have them in coral, white, magenta, dark green, and now purple and gray! I will say that in person the colors are darker than they advertise on the website. The purple is darker and more vibrant. The gray is more like a dark charcoal gray. But they are so soft with a little stretch. They don't lose their shape, they don't shrink in the dryer.
Love love love! 

And finally, I bought a skinny belt. This is actually the only belt I own. I wanted a skinny belt I could wear at my waist over a flowy top and perhaps knot it all cute like. I haven't tried it on yet but I'm really hoping it is the right size!

NOTD feat. Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail polish strips, NYC, && Seche Vite

This past weekend I went to Big Lots and saw they had a few shades of the Sally Hansen Salon Effects real nail polish strips. I had never tried them before so I picked up the print called Skinny Jeans.

Each box comes with 16 strips {heaven forbid they give you 20, HELLO I HAVE 10 FINGERS?!?}. They are two air tight packages of 8 {I repeat, HELLO I HAVE 10 FINGERS} and once you open the package you have to use all of the strips and discard any unused strips because they will dry out. I decided to only open one package of 8 and then do accent nails in a different color so I didn't have to open the other package {darn you Sally Hansen, I know what you were trying to do and I thwarted your evil wasteful plan!}

Here is how it turned out





The berry colored polish is Radio City Rose by NYC


Oh && did I mention this was only $3.00 at Big Lots?!
Now get yourself to Big Lots!!

New clothes from Old Navy!


-First up are those dark wash jeans. They are actually much darker than they appear in the picture above. They are very cute and simple. The kind of jeans you can wear with anything. Mine always shrink (length wise) after a few washes. I'm approximately 5'8" so I order mine long and roll them up the first few times I wear them and eventually they shrink to the perfect size. When I order the regular length they are perfect until I have to wash them and then I look like I'm preparing for a flood, if you know what I mean. Not a good look with any jeans, let alone boot cut.

-The blue tank in the opposite corner is supposed to be yellow, hence the mini version above it. Apparently they don't carry the yellow anymore but the blue is still cute!

-I order the gray braided tank first. It was so cute and fit perfectly that I ordered a second in purple.

-The polka dot and yellow tanks are also really cute and very very comfortable.

-I absolutely love the zebra print cardigan. It is the perfect way to do an animal print without looking like the star of Jerseyshore!


-I love Old Navy's jersey stretch tanks! Which is why I ordered three. They are mostly cotton but have some spandex to give them stretch. They aren't tight but they also don't stretch out and lose their shape like some of the brand's cotton tanks.

-I'm also totally in love with this scarf. I realize we are only a month or two away from Fall but I mean come on, coral with polka dots and little fringe. What more could I want?! It is a very thin airy scarf. I just love it.

-The white chiffon-ish blouse in the bottom left is also another favorite. So comfortable and perfect for layering. It is long enough to do the ever popular 90s knot or to leave one side untucked with a messy bun.

-Red checkered button up. Enough said. I mean what else could I say about it. I love it. White tank peeking out with dark jeans and a side braid. I wear it with the sleeves rolled up for an even more relaxed look.
